We will be going through all of the reasons your Indesit dryer is not heating up and what you can do to fix them.

Which? is calling on the government to urgently publish the results of a report into Whirlpool's fire-risk tumble dryers - as fresh concerns emerge over the company's fix programme and handling of safety concerns. Another cause is if the door filter lint box is full of fluff and needs to be cleaned. This affects the air circulating in the machine and often interferes with the thermostat. When the “empty water” light on your Indesit tumble dryer, you have a condenser dryer, and the condenser box water tank is full. Condenser dryers don’t have a vent, so they pull water out of the drum’s air and then condense it to deposit it into the box. When it is full, it must be emptied to continue working normally. The affected Hotpoint and Indesit models now need to be removed from homes, and the company estimates this will affect up to 55,000 machines, in addition to more than 500,000 originally identified. The long rubber belt that encompasses the centre of the drum can slip from its position of supporting the drum and this too can cause a grinding noise.The one on the left should have a small hole in it that you can insert a pin into and press the reset switch with. As always, unplug the dryer before starting. Whirlpool told us that it has total confidence in the dryer modification, which has been tested and is supported by UK regulatory bodies. It said it investigates all concerns relating to its products and tells us there have been no reported incidents where the modification has proven to be ineffective. The OPSS must ensure it has fully investigated any evidence of Whirlpool machines catching fire after being modified and how the manufacturer is dealing with affected customers, as part of its inquiry. I'm happy with the part. It does exactly what I needed it to. My tumble dryer stopped drying. Everything was still working just no heat. Alex Neill, Which? managing director of home products, said: 'The regulator's investigation cannot continue to drag on when serious questions remain unanswered about Whirlpool's approach to the tumble dryer scandal.

Condenser tumble dryers work by condensing steam inside the machine and turning it into water, this is then collected inside a removable container that you empty after drying. You can install your tumble dryer in a well-ventilated room and be hose-free. And heat pump technology can help save energy. If your Indesit tumble dryer isn’t turning on, then you might be about to panic, thinking your tumble dryer has seen its last day. However, there might be a simple reason for it not turning on. Whilst, not a common problem, you may have a faulty door switch, starter relay if fitted, or can be start button or PCB. Lastly, a faulty heat thermostat is a common cause. If the thermostat isn’t signalling to the heating elements that the temperature has been reached, it will continue to heat. The tumble dryer will often trip the circuit breaker to avoid causing a fire when it gets too hot. A motor circuit defect causes the drum to only spin occasionally or not at all. F03 – Heat-detecting faultBefore you place your clothes into the Indesit IDV75 tumble dryer, make sure that they aren’t so wet ( to the point where they’re all soggy and squishy.) Because the tumble dryer has sensors, it may take significantly longer to dry clothes that are more wet. Loud screeching or squeaking noise. One common culprit for these noises is the idler pulley. This part puts tension on the tumble dryer drum belt to prevent it from slipping when the dryer is spinning. If the pulley wears down, it can cause a buildup of friction and a loud screeching or squeaking noise. Worn motor bearings can also create a high-pitched screaming noise. In response, we launched a product recall of affected appliances on 9th January 2020, and over the course of the last three months, 210,000 of you have registered your appliance as part of this recall. We are hugely grateful to you for getting in touch with us as part of this recall campaign, which has allowed us to register over 40 per cent of affected customers. If failing electrics isn’t the problem you may have an issue with the door being unable to close securely. This could be the result of a bent hinge, loose latch screws, or a broken latch assembly. When the door switch is broken, it will be unable to communicate to the control panel that the door is shut, so the dryer won’t turn on. A faulty switch can be identified with the use of a multimeter. A spokesman told us Whirlpool hasn't been able to fully investigate fully due to Which? failing to share essential details and that it questions Which? research methods.

Take the condenser out of the bottom of the machine and look through the grills sideways to see if you can see the light on the other side. To avoid all risk associated with the use of your washing machine, households are urged to unplug and stop using it if their model number is affected. 'If you do continue to use your appliance, you should only use cold water cycles of 20 degrees celsius or lower. This is because the issue is associated with the washing machine's heating element being activated during washing cycles above 20 degrees,' said Jeff Noel. One of the most common faults that Indesit tumble dryers develop is when they stop heating up during the drying cycle.

Below that panel toward the bottom of the dryer, there should be another dark gray panel. Remove all 9 screws on the outside of the pane holding it into place—2 on top, 3 on the left, 2 on the right, and 2 on the bottom.

The Indesit IDC75 and IDC85 also have a reset switch on one of their thermostats. However, you’ll find the switch on the inside of the left-hand thermostat rather than the right-hand one, like you would in a vented Indesit dryer. When you see that there is power to your tumble dryer since the lights are on, the drum not turning won’t be due to a power failure or an unplugged cord. There is a mechanical issue to sort out. The problem could be a faulty motor or a broken drive belt. Run a normal cycle with a wet load of laundry. For dryers that are underheating, this might be the same as the previous load of laundry. There are many factors that can influence whether your tumble dryer heats up. Typical faults can be associated with heating elements and the assembly which includes the thermostat. The heat control cycling thermostat basically regulates the heat by continually opening and closing the circuit to the heater element. Modern dryers usually have two thermostats with the other being a high-limit or thermal thermostat that cuts power to the heating element if the dryer overheats. Peterborough Trading Standards decides that Whirlpool owners should not use affected dryers after all until a fix has been carried out.

The Dryer is not Turning on

As an Indesit tumble dryer owner, you are probably surprised to be reading this guide right now. Reading this means you need help with what is otherwise a reliable appliance. This problem is specific to condenser tumble dryers so if you have a vented tumble dryer then you should move on to the next probable cause.
